I also love my RAV4. Paid $30K for AWD, heated leather seats, driver assist, other bells and whistles.

Had a cx5 and loved it and upgraded to cx9 bc I was carpooling kids a lot (pre-covid). Sold my cx5 to my mother who loves its pep. Wish the camera and infotainment were a little better but it's a great value and a great car.

OP, I rented a Ford Edge and LOVED it, particularly because of how “peppy” it was. I was super impressed with how it drove and it’s overall responsiveness.

I drive a mercedes suv with a v8 engine. It’s very quick. On loaner I’ve had a Mazda 5. It was a really cute little car with some zip. Check it out.

Same, and the Sport mode button turns the car into something quite zippy indeed. I call it the Mazda Button.

I would like to get a smaller to midsize SUV (5 seater, max > 70 cf cargo).

I am noticing several vehicles (three at least) that have options:

1) (based on prior ownerships top choice): Subaru Outback XT
2) Mazda cx5 turbo
3) Ford Edge ST


The care must have driver assist. Ideally some type of autopilot, but LKA, cross traffic detection, adaptive cruise, etc.

It also has to be comfortable.

I am currently driving a 2016 Subaru Legacy which I find too sluggish.
